Russia's Military Movements.

ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. l5.-The OH,
cidt Military Gazette says: Owing to the
alarm raised by the Austrian press in
consequence of the transfer of some Rus
sian cavalry to the Warsaw district, it is
advisable to consider the military position
of Russia and her western frontier neigh
bors in order to throw light upon the
question Of who is really preparingto
attack and for defense. Alter enumerat-
ing in detail the increase to effectiveness
of the German and Austrian armies dur
ing the past FIVE years, it goes On to say
that all these preparations are meaning
less except in view of the offensive tactics
which show that Austria, under semblance
of defense, is at the same time preparing
to invade Russia simultaneously with her
ally.
But what is Russia doing in view of
her neighbOrs threatening preparations?
Notwithstanding the manifest danger,
Russia considers that a European war
would be a terrible misfortune TO all man
kind. She was the first who, amid her
neighbors ievcrish armament, did not in
crease, but decreased her defensive force.
The peace effectiveness of the Russian
Hrmy is 5000 less than in 1881. while
her neighbors in the same period have
raised theirs the same amount
The most effective measure against dan
ger would be the extension of the Russian
railway system to the proportions of those
of our ~neighbors, but as this requires
time and money the only course is to
increase the troops on the frontier. The
transfer of a few cavalry regiments on the
Vistula might be made the prctex to cx-
cite the press to charge Russia with warlike
intentions. The German and Aus,
trian military authorities under
stand the defensive character
of this measure. They can
calculate how many corps
Russia will have to send to the frontier
while peace is undisturbed, so hat after
centering at any given point, the forces
and mean at her disposal might suffice to
place Russia on an equality with her op-
ponents. Russia has an undoubtcd right
to provide for her defense and take every
measure to uphold the honor and main
tain the inviolability of her territory.

Driven to

WASHINGTON, Dec. l5.-During the
performance of article Al by Clara Morris
at the Grand Opera house tonight Annie
Horton, the great granddaughter of John
G. Calhoun, who is now an employe in
the post office department, became vio-
lently insane during the scene in which
Cora is shot by George Duhamel. "
Five or SIX years ago Miss Horton fired
several shots at George Morgan, son of
Senator Morgan of Alabama, and it is
thought that the scene on the stage re-
called the affair so wildly as to unbalance
her mind.

JUSTICE PAYS.


Experience does not seem to bear
out the idea that domestic morality is
improved BY restricting the personal
and property rights of wives. France
is the most notoriously immoral coun-
try in Europe; yet in France the
husband has BY law the most des-
potic power over his wife. The
French code was drawn up in accord
ancs with the will of Napoleon, who
said:
"a husband must have absolute
control over his wife's actions. He
has q right to say to her: Madame,
you shall not 60 out; madame, you
shall not 60 to the play; madame,
you shall not see such and such per.
sons: in short, madame. you are my
property, body and soul.'"
Comparing the morals of France
with those Of England or America
it seems safe to infer that justice to
women is not only right, but whole
some,

FAITH in human nature gets another set back in the burning by an incendiary fire of the Hotel del Monte :at Monterey, Cal, on Friday night As usual the hotel was filled with guests principally from the east. Much clothing was lost, and the guests had to be taken on special train to San Francisco, many of them clad in blankets snatched from their beds. The hotel had fine system of fire protection, having brought water from 8 great distance by queduct, but the 6endish incendaries had tempered with and destroyed the effectiveness of the water works.

THE renewal of the proposition to remove the Storrs Farm School from Mansfield, is 6 request for the state to break faith with those who have 30 we'll endowed that institu- tion because of interest in its location as well
 as from desire to see 90 needed a state insti. tuition established The movers in the sgita- tion for removal in their mode of argument insult all eastern Connecticut. Their animuf is illustrated ny the private remark of an as. stunned opponent of the school, who admitted that the object sought was to prevent the To- cation of the school east of the Connecticut river. The issue. thus made, for it is made, and by the small politicians of the west side, eastern Connecticut may now well rise and demand as right that this, the only one of the many public institutions of the state, To- cated in the eastern half, remain where it is. Every argument for removal is based on in- suit to the people of this section. The pres ent scheme is that of men in the vicinity of Wallingford, who want the abandoned con- munity farm to be purchased by the state Here is sample argument as made before the agricultural committee:
 GQrs 0OnM A0nQ61Ck BpOk0 or che W0IklnQ- ford1 place as easy of access, and said that if Yale university were offered all Mansfield and e million dollars besides to remove there it would not accept. He thought that a place that would not be accepted by a big university was not good one in which to develop a weak school. x.
 Secretary Gold of the board of agriculture said that the site at Mansfield had been se- lected and ratified by popular approval and repeated action of the Legislature. He de- scribed the gift by Mir. Gtorrs, the question as to title, the steps taken to remove the cloud, and said all the details of the successive stagesfup to clear title had been described in printed documents and could be produced The people had pledged themselves through the general assembly 10 the continuance of the school at Mansfeld.
 Mir. Rogers of New Haven said the farm at Mansfield was excellent, and that next it was the Storrs farm, one of the finest in the state, containing over 500 acres, and which would after some years be available for the state if 80 desired. The growth that made new build ings necessary was an indication that the present farm was answering it's purpose. He 1 spoke also of the interest Mir. Charles Etorrs had felt in the school, and thought the moral suggestions from the past history of the Com munity farm were an objection to removing there.

THE Sunday papers fearfully stirred up the country by report that the Cunard steamer Scythia was being driven on the coast near Scituate, just out of Boston harbor, with S0O people on board and no possible means of re- lief. There was no foundation whatever for the rumor. At that time the Scythia was far out to sea the captain having headed east at the approach of bad weather, thus putin out to sea instead of attempting to enter Bos- ton harbor in such a tempest.

MICHIGAN went republican at its state elect ion on Monday, but gave an adverse vote to constitutional amendment prohibiting the liquor traffic. The cities voted for rum, and the couptry districts for prohibition. It was hard fight, and the work of the temperance women counted on the result, though not to success. The most outrageous frauds in behalf of the rum interests are charged upon the cities
